Re: Gust to 60mph possible Friday

WINDS SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT SHOULD SOLIDLY BE IN THE
ADVISORY RANGE AND COULD REACH HIGH WIND WARNING CRITERIA. WITH
45-60 KT OF WIND AT 950-850 HPA AND BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS OF 35-40
KT SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING...AND STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE
RATES...HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR NOT ONLY SOME GUSTS TO HIGH WIND
CRITERIA (50+ KT/58+ MPH) BUT SUSTAINED WINDS OF HIGH WIND CRITERIA
AS WELL (40+ MPH). IT IS A BIT TO EARLY FOR A HIGH WIND
WATCH...AND CONFIDENCE IN HIGH WIND CRITERIA BEING MET IS NOT
QUITE HIGH ENOUGH (WOULD LIKE TO SEE 950-850 HPA AND BOUNDARY
LAYER WINDS 5-10 KT HIGHER THAN CURRENTLY FORECAST). REGARDLESS
ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS SEEM HIGHLY LIKELY AT THIS TIME
SATURDAY/SATURDAY NIGHT. WILL CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT THIS THREAT IN
THE HWO.
